This is dumb and I love it.

Is this classified as punny

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

This is classified as a felony in every state except Texas, but if you happen to live in Texas it is classified as punny.

Looks like there's a cookie banner in there. The "Options" button is probably hard to find because it's only a slightly different shade of the background colour, and you'll have to manually uncheck twenty "legitimate interest" boxes hidden in a submenu. Pretty scary, indeed!

I hate that those all use those damn switches instead of the default checkbox UI.

There’s no clear on or off state with the switches. They’re not accessible at all. They require extra code instead of a few lines of CSS and zero JavaScript.

They’re a scourge.

Funnily enough, GDPR/cookie laws say denying consent needs to be as easy as granting consent.
I've noticed a few websites with "Deny All" buttons next to the "Save Preferences" button. So, some people are paying attention to the law.
I'm pretty sure your country will have a site/service for reporting non-compliant websites.

20? I've seen 200+

I just use private windows for every site that I don't log into. That way my cookies are all deleted at the end of the session.

I do that, too! It's a convenient way to keep the cookies you want (like the ones that keep you logged in) and discard the cookies from random shops and news websites that you don't want to keep. And my Youtube frontpage is empty, which saves me a ton of time I would otherwise waste on random videos their algorithm shows me.

That's how you say "code" when you have a code.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago

Right. Becubs my node id cyogged.

This code seems a bit chaotic

[–] [email protected] 12 points 5 days ago (1 children)

It's 'minified', in case you're not familiar with that. Basically, many webpages come with such obscene amounts of JavaScript, that it genuinely impacts how quickly the webpage downloads. And then replacing such amenities as whitespace or readable variable names with just 1 space or 1 letter, where possible, genuinely improves on that.

I know what it is and I hate it.

Gzipped files are about the same size and the code would still be readable by people wanting to learn.

The modern web is an abortion.

with javascript

[–] [email protected] 13 points 6 days ago

HTML is code (it's a way of encoding information). It's just not typically seen as a programming language.

Wat? It's the JS source for some website. Whoever made this literally just clicked "view page source" on a random website. It's OS agnostic.

Unless the joke was “windows code” as in, he’s pointing to the window and that’s where the code is
